The OEL IT-12260 is a 1/2-inch drive deep socket designed for use with insulated hand tools in electrical environments. Built to support work where energized or potentially energized equipment is present, this socket is rated for 1000 VAC maximum exposure and 1500 VDC, aligning with common standards for insulated equipment used by electricians and electrical workers. The tool is manufactured in the USA and features a double-insulated construction with a lifetime warranty, reflecting a focus on durability and reliability in demanding settings.
Constructed to meet and exceed relevant safety standards, the socket adheres to IEC 60900 requirements for insulated hand tools and surpasses ASTM 1505 performance guidelines. It is designed to withstand impact and flame exposure, providing resilience during challenging field work. The 1/2" drive and deep profile allow access to recessed fasteners while maintaining compatibility with standard 1/2" drive tools. Documentation notes also indicate alignment with OSHA-related electrical safety considerations, including Subpart S and Subparts governing electrical installations, which helps ensure appropriate use in appropriate tasks.
This socket is suitable for use in applications where insulated tools are required for electrical maintenance, panel work, and other high-voltage environments. Size specifications indicate a 1/2" socket with 12 points, compatible with standard 1/2" drive systems. When selecting accessories, verify drive compatibility and ensure tools are used within their voltage and arc-rating limits. Maintenance should follow manufacturer guidance for insulated tools, including inspection for insulation integrity and signs of wear before each use.
